The comma
"It's not a clear signal that he plans to withdraw. What it is, is a clear signal that he's not happy with the deal," Haley, told CBS News in an interview. (Reuters.)
Is there any grammatical reason to separate the subject "What it is" from linking verb "is" by comma in the clause What it is, is a clear signal that he's not happy with the deal?
